The Clinical Trend and Analytics team leverages advanced scientific techniques, forecasting, and machine learning to predict financial and clinical outcomes in order to guide investments that improve health outcomes and reduce costs. In this exciting start-up environment, you'll have the opportunity to develop data science processes from the ground up and work directly with decision-making executives to shape the future of Humana's most important strategic initiatives.

The Senior Data Scientist uses statistics, machine learning, business analysis, and technology to transform high volumes of complex data into advanced analytic solutions. The Senior Data Scientists’ work assignments involve moderately complex to complex issues where the analysis of situations and data requires an in-depth evaluation of variable factors. The Senior Data Scientist uses statistical and machine learning methods to develop sophisticated models based on large structured and unstructured data set, exercises considerable latitude in determining objectives and approaches to assignments while collaborating closely with clinicians and subject matter experts.

Responsibilities

As a Senior Data Scientist, you will:

  • Work directly with aligned business partners in requirements definition, project scoping, study design, timeline management, results documentation, and maintain effective and professional working relationship

  • Work with clinicians to create definitions for medical diagnoses, medical treatments, and/or clinical interventions from healthcare data

  • Leverage your curiosity, clinician partnerships, and Humana’s data to define and quantify the root causes of poor clinical outcomes
